No one thinks it can happen ... until it happens. Trump terrorists openly talk about assassinations, across the various social media platforms. As reality of the loss sets in, as marches & street fights rile up the base, we enter a new phase. https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1325285877069848577

[And @parler_app is facilitating an armed member of a militia attempting to organize the murder of anyone to the left of Trump.] https://twitter.com/AntiFashGordon/status/1325285884539916288

As an extremism & terrorism researcher, I know precisely how MAGA Cult justify moral sidestepping & breaking conventions of the U.S. political system. If an opposing party did the same, it'd be civil war. Here they are now, undermining all of it, from top to bottom. Surreal.

Politician assassinations are being plotted as we speak. We've already seen amateurs busted trying to kidnap & execute Governors. It's those who know what they're doing, that are a much bigger threat. https://twitter.com/orensegal/status/1328146468222373889
